Welcome to the brand new website featuring Rite-Edge and Rite-L-Edge case studies, latest news and a new online shop to purchase all of our aluminium edging products with ease. Rite-Edge aluminium edgings were first introduced into the UK in 2001 by Rainbow Professional. The Rainbow brand has been in existence since 1964 and is synonymous with gardening, landscaping, horticulture, forestry and amenity. Rainbow Professional distributes into 63 countries around the world and is brand and market leader in many of the products they manufacture.

The standard method of joining two pieces of Rite-Edge is to use its unique telescopic joining system. Rite-Edge is made from high quality aircraft grade aluminium which is extruded to a strong 100mm deep section that has incorporated into its design a male and a female section. These two sections slide together not only giving the unique sliding telescopic joint but also a joint that is true and straight.........not a flimsy wobbly joining system but a precision engineered joint! This method of joining Rite-Edge pieces to each other is the most popular method but in some peoples view it is not aesthetically pleasing in that it does leave what can be best described as a stepped joint, the top picture on the right hand side shows this.
